A surprisingly successful 2012 season for the Minnesota Vikings was continuously explained, by both players and coaches, to have been in the works since offseason activities began and the very good attendance they experienced.
This year, the Vikings are getting off to a similar start, as every player was present for the kickoff of OTAs with only one exception.
Jared Allen reportedly was a no-show. Allen has rarely participated in OTAs in the past and, according to Tom Pelissero of 1500 ESPN, had a family obligation. He, of course, is also still in the rehab process for his offseason shoulder injury and is entering the final year of his current contract.
There was no real news resulting from Day One, but the media also didn’t have any access on Tuesday. That should change tomorrow and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on any developments coming out of OTAs.

Joe Webb caught every pass thrown his way on day one. Hands not a problem according to Tom Pelissero.
Ya, the article said everything else is the problem!!!
He has great foot work when doing his touchdown dance. No problems with that part of his game.
Mike Wobschall has a good interview and highlight clip with Joe Webb on Vikings.com
Yeah, I read the same thing from a different source. Could the Vikes actually be building a receiving corps?
